Revelation 19:13

vesture Or, cloak: it is the outergarment that is so described.

dipt in blood There is almost equal authority for this reading, "dipped," or "dyed," and for "sprinkled." Either is almost equally supported by the language of Isaiah 63:1; Isaiah 63:3, "With dyedgarments … their blood shall be sprinkledupon My garments." The reference to that passage is unquestionable, and so the primarymeaning must be, as there, to describe the Conqueror as stained with the blood of His enemies. But no doubt it is legitimate for the Christian to remember, in interpreting both passages, that the waythat Christ overcomes His enemies is by shedding, not their blood, but His own.

The Word of God The only place in Scripture (unless Hebrews 4:12 be so interpreted, which is not probable) where this exact phrase is used of the personalWord, the Son of God. But of course the use of "the Word" in St John 1:1 is the same in principle and meaning.
